Sound familiar?
Dropshipping books catching up with you?
The model is straightforward enough on paper. In practice, the records tell a different story — multiple suppliers, platform payouts that do not match what you expected, VAT obligations that crept up quietly, and a year-end return due with books that need more than a little work. None of it is insurmountable. It just takes longer the more you leave it.
- Hours lost trying to match supplier invoices against platform payouts
- No clear picture of your tax position until the bill actually arrives
- VAT on cross-border dropshipping sales handled inconsistently, if at all
What sorted looks like
Books reconciled monthly, every payout and supplier charge accounted for. Your tax position visible throughout the year, not just when HMRC writes. VAT handled correctly and filed on time, regardless of where your customers are.
- Supplier invoices and platform payouts reconciled every month — no backlog
- Tax position visible well before HMRC asks for payment
- VAT returns prepared, filed and MTD-compliant — less of it lands on you
- A fixed monthly cost that does not move, however many questions you ask
What dropshipping clients say about us
We work with eCommerce and dropshipping businesses across the UK. Two clients who came to us in roughly the same situation you are probably in now.
Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.
What a guy!! Excellent, fast and reliable. Kieran has been very professional, caring, patient and efficient throughout the entire process of building our company. He was always one click away from every possible question we could throw at him.
What your monthly fee covers
Three things that keep your dropshipping books clean, your tax position visible and your compliance in order — for one fixed monthly fee.
Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Every supplier payment, platform fee, refund and payout matched monthly against your bank account. Your records are current and accurate, so there is no scramble when the tax return comes around — and no guesswork when you want to know where you stand.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Quarterly VAT returns prepared and filed with HMRC, Making Tax Digital compliant as standard. Cross-border dropshipping raises specific VAT questions — place of supply, import VAT, marketplace rules — and the answers are built into how we handle your returns from the start.
Quarterly, fixed feeCorporation Tax or Self Assessment
Your annual tax return filed accurately and on time. Because the books are current throughout the year, your tax liability becomes visible well before the deadline — long enough to plan for it, not just react to it.
No extras, no surpriseseCommerce businesses across the UK trust Swift

Why dropshipping businesses choose Swift
There is no shortage of accountants. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how dropshipping margins, costs and VAT obligations work.
No explaining how dropshipping works
Supplier costs, platform fees, cross-border VAT, payout timing — you will not need to spend the first twenty minutes of a call explaining your business model. We work with eCommerce and dropshipping businesses regularly. Ask a question and get a useful answer, not a request for background.
Replies the same day
Questions get answered the day you ask them. Not logged, not queued, not acknowledged with an automated holding message. If you want to know whether a supplier cost is deductible or how a particular sale affects your VAT position, you will know before the end of the day.
One price, clearly agreed
Your monthly fee is fixed before anything begins and does not move. No hourly billing, no add-on invoices, no charge for asking questions. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads — which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four steps
Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding process, no forms that need a lawyer to interpret.
Send your enquiry
Fill in the form on this page. Kieran reads every enquiry and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages, no waiting to be assigned to someone.
A short discovery call
Twenty minutes to understand your current setup, what platform you sell through, and what needs sorting. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered and what it costs — no vague proposals sent three days later.
We handle the setup
Your accounting software is connected, historical records are brought up to date and everything is configured correctly for how dropshipping businesses record income and costs. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.
Ongoing — nothing falls through
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT, annual tax return — handled as a matter of course. Your tax position is visible well before it becomes urgent, and HMRC correspondence is considerably less likely to land on your desk unannounced.
“Kieran and Swift have been an invaluable asset to me and my business. Kieran provided excellent 1:1 training for Quickbooks, which allowed me to gain confidence about my bookkeeping. More recently he has submitted my self-assessment tax return.”
Questions dropshipping businesses usually ask first
Less time on the books. More on the business.
Fixed monthly fee. Books reconciled every month. Tax position visible throughout the year. VAT handled. Same-day replies. No lock-in.
